Bright Star Massage

I have worked in many modalities throughout the years but enjoy Hot-Stone and Barefoot techniques most of all. I have also found those techniques to be extremely effective in helping clients achieve their wellness goals. Ashiatsu is a Barefoot Massage technique in which the therapist delivers medium to deep, broad, consistent pressure with feet and bodyweight, working with gravity, instead of against it.

The pressure is modified to suit the individual needs of each client. In addition to barefoot work, a combination of hands-on techniques deemed appropriate by the therapist are used. Hot-Stone Massage is a technique that utilizes warm, stone or ceramic tools to reduce muscle tension and relax the body. There are many different styles of Hot-Stone Massage.

In my practice, ceramic stone tools are used for targeted, specific work, in addition to slow, compressive, gliding heat. Hot-Ashiatsu is a combination of Hot-Stone Massage and Barefoot work. Hot-Stones are used to warm and relax the muscles, to prepare for the deeper barefoot work.
